The biggest WoW Private Server
Turtle-WoW (turtlecraft) is by far the biggest WoW Private Server around. They are a Plus vanilla based server with a great set of ingame features. The staff team is dedicated and are actively creating new content, hosting events and communicating to the playerbase. The server is loved by the majority and is definitely a must-try for new players.
The only downside with Turtle WoW right now is the amount of attention it has gotten by Blizzard. In other words, it has almost grown too big. This reminds me of Nostalrius back in the days. So there's a bit on uncertainty right now around the future of turtle wow.
